Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame.

With conquering lines astride from land to land;

Hereat out •'sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torcluwhose flame '

Is tl}e imprisoned lightning, and. her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand ■

Clows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command -

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. ^

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries" she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, yuurpoor,

Your Huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. '

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Coiihty^mgers
new technology

■ Pennington County purchases
new 'fingerprinting machine

by Jeff Achen

Reporter

Hollywood has made the fiction-
al notion of thumbprint scanners
and retina identification devices a
popular-one. Though this technolo-
gy, called biometrics, may seem
futuristic, it's not all that far off.

Advances in biometric technolo-
gy now allow those in law enforce-
ment to scan and download finger-
print images electronically. .

In 1997 the Minnesota
Legislature appropriated funds for
the installation of electronic finger-
print capture devices in shenff's
offices throughout the state.
Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA) purchased u
Printrak LSS 2000 fingerprint cap-
ture device for the Pennington
County Law Enforcement Center
and equipment training commenced _
6nJunc26,200l.

Local law. enforcement officials
learned to properly acquire finger-
prints ond^download uicm to the
BeArTh'e old way of fingerprinting-
meant a lot of paperwork for author- '
ities and several days of delay,
before the BCA and other agencies
■obtnuied-thcm. A— Pennington — methodologies;

Using biometrics as part of the
fingerprinting process is a far less
complex process than implementing
biometrics in more private indus-
tries or for the everyday citi/en.
According to Simon Liu. director of
computer and communications sys-
tems at the National- Library- of
Medicine, and Mark Silverman."
technical advisor at the Center of
Information Technology. National
Institutes of Health, there are cur-
rently around 150, separate ..hard-
ware and software vendors jn the
biometrics industry. Each vendor,
Whether agency or (company, has its
own proprietary interlaces, algo-
rithms, and data structures.
Standards arc emerging, however,
that allow for effective comparison
and cvuluution of different biomet-
ric technologies, making it easier to
know which is the Ixsi buy and the
best-fit for any orgunizatiun looking.-
lo implement biometrics. • ...

Groups like the Biometric.
Consortium, and the Microsoft
Computer Corporation arc develop- "
■ing— such ^-standards.- The. U.S.
Department ''"':" oT Defense's
Biometrics Management Office is
also developing standard testing

little investigating as lo the stnldc*!
origin;. .

Unlike the original, the staiuc at

'more-curved and its arm is slightly

York Hurbor, the statue is one of the
largest ever made, and its proper
name is Liberty Enlightening the
World..

(Continued on Page 14)

Lady Liberty Is once again taking center stage In the main lobby
of Northern Stat* Bank, rerninding bank visitors of the many free-
doms we enjoy on Independence Day and every other day of the
year. Jhe replica of the famous State of Liberty was purchased by
NorttierrPState Bank founder George Betto in 193S when he
bought the building that formerly housed first National Bank.
Until the bank's remodeling In the early 1970s, the statue was Its .
lobby's' centerpiece. . '

County official - said the BCA
receives between 7.000 to 8,000 fin-
gerprints per month.
. TJie Printrak LSS 2000 is also
capable of taking mugshois, though
Pennington County's machine is
used solely for taking, fingerprints.
The machine can print .out paper
copies of fingerprints, as well and
download them directly to the BCA.
Biometric technology
Biometric technology is defined
as the measurement of unique per-
sonal characteristics. Physical bio-
metrics involve things such as fin-
gcrprinls, iris scans, and faccprints.

Liu and Silverman write that bio-
metric technology is continually
advancing. One of the problems
with biometrics lies in the storage
and security of the user's tempinicr"
or biometric "signature-.'* Storing
the templates means storing some?
one's personal characteristics?
which often stirs up debute about.,
privacy concerns or susccptihility to
identity theft. As the computer
industry evolves, so do computer
crimes, un'd'no one wants, their fin-
gerprints or reu'nu scuns stolen or
forged. A possible solution for this .

Off icers to address
seat belt safety

Law enforcement officers across '
the state will put in overtime
enforcement hours for a Safe and
Sober campaign focused on seat
belt safety over the Independence
Day holiday travel period. During
the enforcement wave, to take
place between June 28 and July 7,
"■""■ -tlian-350-law— enforcement-

agencies, including all districts of
the Minnesota State Patrol, will
enforce Minnesota's seat belt law
in on effort to ensure that all
Minncsotans are riding safely. •

According to Minnesota law,
officers-must have stopped a vehi-
cle for another moving violation
• before they can issue a belt citation.
A scat belt citation 'will typically
cost the recipient between $50 and
$75 for each unbuckled occupant.

Statistics show that one person
in Minnesota is killed every 13.5-
liours in a motor vehicle crash, and
that buckling up culs the risk of
-dying in a crash by half. While scot-
belt use in Minnesota is currently
about 73 percent, numbers vary'
regionulIy-Surveys-are. conducted
periodically, before and after
enforcement waves, to -determine'

"the change in behavior caused by
enforcement. If 85 percent of driv-
ers and passengers buckled scat
belts regularly, about 50 lives
would be saved, and 1,000 injuries
avoided each year in Minnesota.

The Chief of Minnesota's State
Patrol, Anne Beers, says that sum-

"In the winter months, people
drive more slowly. There is a lot df

firopcrty damage, but fewer Jives
ost," Chief Beers Commented.
"Then in the summertime, the mix
of vehicles changes, with motorcy-
cles, campers, und boats being
trailered. Drivers speed up on dry
roads, and the combination is dead-

ly." • -

Few people realize that road"
ditches often have u greater variety
dP plants than can be found in most
-gardens. Although il ulwuys looks
.' nice and neat after they mow, I
sometimes wish they'd let the
Uitchcs be for us long us possible so
we can enjoy, llic flora.
_ Jusi today, 1 suwti pink wild
rose, a white wild rose,' some
yarrow, Queen Anne's, lace,- and
many other wild pfants I can.'l
name, all iri'u single ditch.

If you gel real lucky, you can
find a lituy slipper plant in llii!
ditch. Tim lady slipper is the stale
flower, so if you touch one a beep-
er goes off .somewhere in St. Paul

■ However, the man who mows
for ihe couniy is immune from
prosecution, and he mows down
everything— from roses lo la"dy slij'P-
pers— without fear of punishment.

During the, countless thousands
of hours I spent on a school bus as
a child, t often looked out the win-
dow and watched (he road ditches
go by. I imagined lhat ihe bus hud u
sickle, mower attached to it, and
that the grass fell nicely to the

grou nd a s ihe bus passed..

They don't use sickle mowers
anymore. They have those grinders
which do a belter job, but which

sickle mower slicing through the
■ grass and laying il ncnl|y down.

You know, not "c very whae do
they have road ditches. In^tnzona,
they just pavc'thc desert without
b uildin g up the road . No ditches

llicrc. Wltcn it rains, the water just
.. runs over the road. -

In Georgia, some of llic old
roads huyc'acluuHy sunk below the
level of ihe surrounding^ fields. The.
road ilself is the only ditch.

Ditches aren't all good. The
biggest fear I hud when I was learn-
ing to drive wus ihul I would go in
llic dt'ich. That was. the ultimate'
driving failure, ending up in the
ditch.

When I got home wuy too lute in
high school, Dad would be waitipg
up. His main worryV Thai I wus
upside down in ihc ditch. As long
us I wasn't in the ditch, all was
okay.

But ditches were u blasl as u

.'.'"" ...Downhill After the Fourth of July. "

I am beginning lo remember why I dislike llic months of July and"
August. Last week reminded me of the miscrabte humid heat of these
months and the moths are reminding me of the other reason.! dislike these
months - the bugs.

I hate bugs, especially those thai bite and bother me. Frankly, I don't
even like the looks of the bugs that leave me alone. I just don't like bugs.

I don't like the looks-of them. When you really lodk at most bugs.
many of them have little faces that arc downright ugly - and some of them
have very pointed little snouts that look mighty dangerous to me - us if
Ihey could take a bile out of me. I don'l like die fact thafthcy arc so tiny
lhat Ihey fit into my cars, nose and mouth - and sometimes enter those ori-
fices. I don'l like it lhat bugs can move so fast - they can.fly and run and
jump so fast that one can hardly keep track of them - and where they arc
or where ihey arc going next - like onto me. - , .

.1 don' 1 like_spi_derejiither t even though 1 know that ihey arc benefi-
cial bugs, eating mosqui foes and other nasty creepy crawlics. I have real-
ly tried to appreciate the spider. Once 1 sal down next lo one and tried lo
be very. friendly and sensible about it. thinking of it like a little^pci. 1 '
watched it doing its thing, toddling along on its long legs, all the while
telling mysetfthat this- was jusl a nice bug that was merely walking along,
minding Us own business, and it wasn't the least bit interested in me.

I looked into its little face, idling myself that il was a friend, there
wasn't n thing 10 be afraid of and ttrat-it couldn'l help. looking the way il
did because thai is ihc way God made il. I saw. its creepy-crawly legs
walking along, then walking faster und fus|er, albeit awny from me, and 1
couldn'l help myself- friend or not - 1 stepped on it. 1 just didn't want to
lake the chance lhat it-would turn" around' and run at me on those creepy-
crawly legs.

The. bugs on my most-hated list al llic present time and (he ones thai ~
remind me of why I hate August are those liltle. billy flies lhat cluster
around me, especially my head and face. Arc they called gnals? I thought
ihey used to be called fruil flies.

Whatever ihey arc called, they arc the most irritating things I have

No matter how -carefully I check llic door before 1 go out, pecking
first in one direction and theh the oilier to make sure I don'l sec any bunch-
es of Ihe buggers, it doesn't matter. Tlic minuic I set foot outside ihe door
they are righl there.

They swarm around my head and get into my hair, all over my face.
under my glasses, into my ears und nose. If I open my mouth (just to mut-
ter a few profanities al them, perhaps), lhcy_fjy into il. too, and then 1 find
myself standing ouiside in full view or the neighbor; shouting profanities
and spilli ng.

PARKNTINti TIPS
Fumjly TVayel

There is nothing like planning to ,'
make a nice vacation .GREAT. -
Once you have decided where you
are going, you warn to make travel-
ing there as much fun as being
there. Here are a few ways to make
this hap pen, *

a*-*

" hoi make driving ihcrc n
murulhOn eVeni. Plan to stop al
leusi every two hours, -Tlic stops-.-
' should be al areas that allow chil-
dren to use up somc.of their, energy, ■
so rest areas with a picnic lunch arc
' better than sit down restaurants. It '
is best lo avoid rush hours near lurgc
cities. Reservations for each night's
lodging are a must to avoid having
lo go further because motels arc
filled.

Activities that allow your chil-
dren to use ihcir imagination and
problem-solve will hold their inicr-
csl. Some games lhat you remem-
ber- from childhood slid work ihe "
best, such as: counting games using
different types of animals, road '
signs, colored cars or license plates.
1 SPY - Object in distance, ask
questions till guess correctly.
_ STORYTELLING - Slurt with
one sentence and everyone builds
_on_il_and_scc_Ho_w_nirmy„diflcrcni__
directions ii can go.

SAY T HE S E CRET WORD -
Eadi penion writes down a word
and listens for il to come on the
radio.

A toy bag should include wash-
able markers, plain paper, tabid,
slicker book, magic slate, playing
cards, books (unless a person tends
lo gel car sick). Also a (ape recorder
wiih earphone and story tapes cun
provide many moments of peaceful. .
pleasure for Ihc driver as well.
SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT
Talk about whai you sec out ihc/
window as you travel: colors, sizes.
shapes, numbers, etc.

TfUoes no earthly good to izy to ignore them because lliey just don'l

don't care about ihcir dead comrades either. In fact, it seems as if killing a

The" season's first probable "case
of mosquito-borne LaCrosse
. encephalitis hus been reported- to,
the Minnesota Department of
..Health (MDH). promptings a
reminder from MDH officials
aboqtlhe. need to protect yourself
from ihc LaCrosse virus.

What appears to be the year's
first laboratory-con finned case of
the illness was' reported in u one-
year-old boy from the southwestern
Twin Cities area. The child' hud
been hospitalized, bu t hus since,
been released "and is now recover-
ing. — ■ .. .

A possible case had also been
reported earlier in the Winona area,
but it was/lutcr determined that the
illness wasn't actually mosquito-
bom* encephalitis.

Minnesota doesn't usually
record its first cases of LaCrosse
.encephalitis until luier in Ihc .sum-
mer, according to Dr. Harry Hull,-
_ .Minnesota -.Statc-Epidcmiologist.-
But while officials are concerned
that the illness may be making un
early appearance this year. Dr. Hull
emphasized that it's too early to
predict whether this will be a "bad
year" for LaCrosse.

Every summer, MDH officials
routinely recommend a number of
preventive measures for people
wjio live in parts of the state where
the LaCrosse virus is commonly
found. Those recommendations
include eliminating mosquito habi-
tat, and protecting children from
mosquito bites. /

■ Like many other states,
-Minnesota is also on the ulertfora ■-
.possible appearance by the West

Nile encephalitis virus." But as of
last year. West Nile had only been
found in 12 northeastern states and
the District of Columbia. So far this
year,. evidence of the virus has only

been found in Connecticut^

Maryland, New Jersey, New York
und Rhode Island, und no human
cases of illness have beep reported.

But MDH officials say the most
immediate health threat here is
from the LaCrosse strain, which
has been a fixture of life in the
_Upf«r_MjdwcsL_for_mahy_ycars.
LaCrosse also remains/ the most
Jcomlnon form of mosquito-borne
encephalitis nationwide'.

Minnesota's experience with
LaCrosse may help it cope with any
potential threat from West Nile,
according -io David Neitzel of the.
MDH Acute Disease. Investigations
and Control Section.

Minnesota's ongoing surveil-
lance for the LaCrosse encephalitis
virus -should- help state-officials -
detect any West Nile activity.
Neitzel noted. Minnesota officials
ulrcudy monitor for possible cases
of mosquito-borne encephalitis in
humans, us well as virus activity in
mosquitoes and other animals.

The- muin uddition to the state's
encephalitis surveillance has been
the collection and examination of
dead birds that may have been
infected with West Nile. Crows and
Jays, in particular, tend to be very
vulnerable to West Nile, and die .
very quickly once they become
infected.

- MDH has been working with the
Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources to collect and'tcsi birds

that muyhuve died under unusual Fillmore, Goodhue, Hennepin,
circumstances. . r .. -Houston. Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice.

"It's very possible that West Nile • Wabasha. Washington, Winona and

MN farm records
show high level of
federal payments

Tlic average net income for u
representative group of Minnesota
farms was $56,083 last year,
according lo financial records of
the farms. Tfic records also show
chut government - . payments
accounted for S5 percent of the
total net income. The figures
underscore the importance of fed-
eral dollars to supplement farm
income.. says Blue Earth County"
educator Kent '.Thicssc of the
University of Minnesota Extension-
Service.

The income figures are from the
Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities (MNSCU) Farm
Business Management Program.
They represent die financial
records of nearly 2.300 farms. The
figures arc fairly typical of farm
operations throughout southern
and western Minnesota and other
.upper Midwestern states, accord-
ing lo Ttiiesac.

The farms in the MNSCU pro-
gram/averaged $47,651 in govern-
ment payments in 2000, or 85 jwr-
ccnt of total net income. An aver-
age of $21,808' cumc from the
-scheduled Agricultural— Market-
■Transitio n Act (AMTA)_paynicnis_
that arc pan of the seven-year fed- '
oral Farm Bill. The other $25,843
jyimcjiri man lyjrom_cxira _AMTA_J
payments and oilseed payments
that were part-of the Market Loss
Assistance Program, and other fed-
eral programs for selected farmers
-such as -the- Conservation Reserve — |
Program and disaster programs.

Surrounded by family and friends, Gretchen and
'Gene Beito listened as their long-time friend Orin
Green^ spoke at a program honoring them as

Pennington County Historical Society's Pioneer
Family for 2001 Saturday at Peder Engelstad
Pioneer Village.

The percentage of net farm
income from government 'pay-
ments was highest in the Red River
Valley at nearly 96 percent, and
lowest in cast central and northeast
Minnesota at 62.5 percent. South

I ccnu3iLMinnesota.was-aLjust.over — i

88 percent of net farm income from I
government payments, while
southwest Minnesota was at 31

Cercent ■ and west Central
linnesota at 84.5 percent.
It's important to keep in'mind
that not all farmers receive a high
levcl-of government payments,
Thicssc points out. Livestock pro-
ducers with limited crop acreage
and farmers producing specialty
crops derive far less of their
income from government .pay-,
merits.

The U.S. Department of
Agriculture paid out record levels
of federal farm payments in 1998,
1999 and 2000 to offset low crop
prices and minimize die effects of
"low farm profitability. Without the
federal dollars, there would proba-
bly have been an economic disaster
for farm businesses in many areas
of Minnesota, says Thicssc.

Federal government figures '
show direct payments to -farmers
totaled nearly S30 billion in 2000. ■
This compares with about $23 bil-
lion in 1999. slightly over S 12* bil-
lion in 1998 and 57.5 billion in

One thing is sure, the .introduc-

Justice found for victims
of Colorado shooting

particularly hard on crimes that
involve home invasion. - .

Deb Rofjulla feels, too, that the
judge, tn giving the defendant the
maximum .sentence, .spake to the
fact that Raincr never named his
accomplice..

■Deb mentioned that fact in her
impact statement too, ". . . Hc„
(Raincr) also continues to moke
choices that affect. Ryan and Chris v
. Because he has chosen not to speak.*
they will have to live the rest of
their lives not knowing why he
wanted the tn. dead. It's hard to get
back your s*ensc of security — the
feeling of being safe. . ."

While she said she was so
focused on the judge when the ver-
dict was read that sue did not notice
the reaction of the defendant at the
end of the trial, Deb says that she
did watch him as the sentence was
delivered. His face, she says, was
void of emotion, further confirming
.her belief lhat he has little regard for
life, his own or the lives of others.

Arctic Cat's four-stroke
receives honors

Manufacturers of the first modem
four-stroke powered snowmobile
were recently .honored at the
International Snowmobile

Congress (ISC) in recognition of
work done on developing new
environmentally-friendly engine
technology for snowmobiles. ...

The special 2001 BLIZZ'OR'
environmental award was present-
ed by Yves Watier of the Quebec
Federation of Snowmobile Clubs
(FCMQ). Each year, the award is
presented to one of the four manu-
facturers who display extraordinary"
action within the snowmobile
' industry.

■ "We. all saw the prototype a year
ago . in .Manchester, New
HampshirCTmd since then Arctic
Cat has led the way to meet two of
our biggest -environmental chal-
lenges - snowmobile emission and
noise." stated Yves Watier of
FCMQ. "Arctic Cat became the
flag bearer for our industry, demon-
strating in a very tangible way that
the snowmobile, snowmobile man-
ufacturers and snowmobilcrs them-

_MLv.es_arc^comrnilted_to.protecting_
and improving our environment."
In use in limited numbers for the

-past- two- scasons _ as* both - : rental
sleds in West Yellowstone, Mont.,
and at many Arctic Cat events, the

C TECH 4 engine showed Aid
economy in the 20-25 mpg range.
And its weight compares favorably
to other sleds in its class. Along

. with their clean and quiet
demeanor, tne new Arctic Cat four-
strokes arc proving themselves

ultra durable as. well. ( ._

"The durability of 'these new

-machines is outstanding,". states--
Arctic Cat's Snowmobile Product
Manager, Joel Hallstrom. "The
West Yellowstone rental fleet
logged 250,000 miles wiuVnot u

"single engine failure."*

For the upcoming 2001-2002
snowmobiling season, Arctic Cat
remains the only manufacturer to
offer a four-stroke snowmobile
commercially available throughout
its network of dealerships. Also, in

-response to requests from its cus -"
tomcrs for quieter, cleaner
machines the company continues
hard at work to improve the emis-
sions, and sound level performance
of traditional two-stroke engine
technology. ■

The people of France presented
the Statue'of Liberty to th* Minister
of the United States in Paris on July
4, 1884, and it was shipped to the
United States, in 214 coses aboard
thq French ship hire in June 1885. .
The site chosen for the statue
was the center of old Fort Wood,
built in the shape of an 1 1 -point star
during the early 1800s, on what
was formedy named Bedloe Island
in New York Harbor.

President Graver Cleveland ded-
icated the monument on October 28,
1886, and it was unveiled before
representatives of both countries.
The people of France had donated ■
about $250,000 for the statue's con-
struction, and the people of the
United States gave about $280,000
for its pedestal. A model of the stat-
ue stands on a bridge over the Seine
River in Paris.

Floodlights were added to the
statue's base in 1916; and it became
a national monument in 1924.
iughout"1937. Ji jtfas_rcpaircd _
and strengthened

— <In 1956, Congress changed the-
name of the island from Bedloe
Island to Liberty Island, and Ellis
Island, an immigration station until
1954, was added to the national
monument in 1965. In" 1972, the
National Museum of Immigration,
built inside' Uic statue's base,'
opened. • — - ■

In 1984, the National Park
Service, which maintains the Statue
of Liberty National Monument; -1
-embarked on a three-and-a-tialf-
year, S31 million restoration project
of the Statue of Libcny. The repairs,
which were necessitated by damage
caused by. wear, included strength-
ening connections between the arm,
head and remainder of the statue.

The Statue of Liberty represents
a proud wo man, dressed in a Joosc
robe that falls in graceful folds to
the top of the pedestal on which the
'Statue"standsrits~righrarm"h"oIds"a'"'
torch raised high in the air, and the
left arm holds a tablet on which the
date of the Declaration of
Independence is inscribed. Acrown_
of huge spikes, "resembling therays
of the sun, rests on its head, and at
its feet, a broken shackle symbol-

izes the overthrow.of tyranny. .

The Statue of Liberty is one of
Ihe most celebrated examples of
repousse" work, the process of ham-
mering metal over a mold in order
to shape it. This statue is made of
more than 3t>0 thin sheets of copper
with a total weight of about 100
short tons. The outer layer of copper
is supported by an iron framework
resembling un oil derrick. Tnc-stat-
ue stands 151 feet, I inch high and
weighs 450,000 pounds.

Floodlights from its 150-foot
base shine on the statue, and the
torch, which rises 305 feet, 1 inch
above the base of the pedestal,
gleams at night with powerful
incandescence.

According the the 1986 National
Geographic article, replicas of the
statue have been sold continually
from the statue's inception. While
some have been commissioned by
the official committees who sought
to raise money first for the statue's
construction and later for its rcstora-
_tion, others havc.bccn-.sold-by.pri-—
vatc companies seeking personal
profit .: ^ __

Many owners of statues such as
the one at Northern Slate Bank
deem them a reminder of Statue of
Liberty on Liberty Island— o sym-
bol of hope and freedom lighting
the world.

Future renewable energy- gencr-

waves is likely to be closely tied to
seasonal weather patterns in differ-
ent parti of the world. Scientists are
studying ways to make' better use
of seasonal weather changes to pro-
duce alternative energy, says clima- -
tologist Mark Seeley of the
University of Minnesota Extension
Service. • -

"^"S«Iey _ cilcTT^nt~aiircIes _ iii _
"Science" magazine concerning
increasing efficiencies in harness-
ing ocean wave motions to produce
electricity. "Some estimate that
improved technology may allow up
to 16 percent of the world's elec-
tricity output to.be generated by
wave motions," he notes.

Coastal areas are rated for ener-
gy production based on the waves'

Seeley. Coastal jirea^of Scotland,

em "Africa and Australia are rated

' "Seasonally, ihe ~ maximum
power production by waves occurs
during the winter," .Seeley points

out. "That's when atmospheric
pressure differences produce a
magnitude and constancy of waves
due to winds." -

On the other hand, the maxi-
mum opportunity to produce power
from solar energy occurs during the
summer,' says Seeley. That's when
higher sun angles and longer days

"Therefore, generation of wind

Eight people have died in
Minnesota boating accidents . thus
fur this year and four of the victims
have been canoeists, according lo
Ihc Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). The most recent

— occurred'June-16 on-Kntfe-Lake-in-
Lake County when a 32-year-old
man from. Iowa drowned after his
canoe. capsized under very windy
conditions. It appears that he was
not wearing u life jacket.

Other 21KJI canoe deaths include
two men. ages 26 and 28, who
drowned May 31 wjicn their canoe
capsized on a small lake on the
campus of St. John's University.

"What some don't understand,"

a few yards u near impossibility.

"Just about any outdoor recre-
ational activity has inherent risks,"
Smalley said. "Die canoeist has to
accept responsibility to minimize
risks to ensure their own safety and
the safety of the others in their

The DNR recommends these

Bearsarc naturally shy. of humans,,
so sightings are relatively rare. Each
-year, the^DNR -receives numerous
calls from people who arc delighted,

- astonished-, alarmed and occasionally
inconvenienced by a visit from these

. large mammals. Most problematic

- bear encounters take place in the late

- -spring and early summer.
"This is a very difficult time for

bears," said Bill Bcrnhjclm. DNR
Enforcement Division director.
"They ore inactive and don't cat

"Bears are still enough of a novel-
ty in that' most people ore excited
when they sec one rummaging
around in their back yard,
Bcrnhjclm said. "But unless they are
discouraged early, bears can develop
unhealthy habits. By the time peo-
ple's excitement wears off, the bear's
natural fear of humans may have '
been reduced to the poinr where the
animal is a danger to property or, in
Dire cases, even to people. Ai that

and berries until more substantial
wild foods come on. but throughout
June they arc on the move and alert
for any source of food."

Imagine a ravenous bear getting a
whiff of dog food in a bock yard,

itself. The old saying that 'a fed bear
is ; a dead bear is true in many
instances." •

Bear sightings arc most prevalent
in northern Minnesota, but they've
also been spotted in inhabited areas
as well. Bcrnhjclm said Minnesotans

campgrounds with an easy meal.
Rules for beur-sufe/ camping include
never cooking or storing food in tents
or sleeping ureas und keeping food
locked inside vehicles when not in
use. If a bear enters your camp site,
ger inside your vehicle and stay
there.

"If u bear wanders into the yard

Welcome to
the Frontier

America's frontier is not disappearing, it's just
moving around.
.. _ While looking Tor ideas about editorials; I like to look at area
and regional newspapers. Dave Jameson of the Warren Sheaf,
had what 1 thought was an interesting column last week about
the Census. In his column called "Screenings" he explained that
his-idca for the column came' from CaJ Melgard and _a story ■•
Melgard noticed.in the USA Today newspaper.

America's frontier is not disappearing, it's just moving around
so why not use it to our benefit. That was the gist of the story
and column.
Jameson pointed out that the Census Bureau defines "fron-
-nici > ^?ranjrrounty'iharhasTi*popu!atlon"denslty"wIUi"tewenhiin —
six peopJc per square mile. According to this definition, there
arc 400 counties with 4.7 million residents, and more than 1.4

_million^s_quare.milcA^at_are.stiIL^tontictla>Lof the 2000

Census.- Of course much of the "frontier" is located in Alaska.
but 900.000 square miles of "frontier" remain in the 48 contigu-
ous states. And guess where most
of that "frontier" space is located?
.That's right, the Dakotas.
Montana. Wyoming, Idaho, Utah,
and Nevada.
- Ttn> "fi-nniii'r" h;'^ Jyi'rwtfciip-

The Census Bureau
defines "frontier"
as any county that
has-a-population-

density with fewer
than six people per
square .mile.

pearing. but it isn't exactly gone
nor is it disappearing at the rate
we've heard. According to the
U.S.Census. the U.S. lost only
""four percent or its territory desig-
nated as "frontier." while the pop-
ulation in the United States has increased by 32.7 million peo-
ple. - . ■ ■

; Jameson said in his column that Cat suggested" putting up
signs on the border coming in to Mashall County saying
"Welconnno,the Frontier." He added that while he thought Cal
was pulling his leg~about the sign idea, he may have a good ■
idea.
,' - Apparently others, though they may not realize it, are think-
i ing along'lh'c same lines. Jameson noted that Ethel Thorlacius is
toiling to promote the idea of developing what she calls heritage
tourism in this pan of Minnesota.

.1 would like ro add that our area Chamber of Commerce
agencies have been actively promoting birding tours, snowmo-
biling and ottTcractivities found only in less populated areas for"
years. And, Norma Hanson recently promoted a bus tour called
'Tours through the Countryside." Thursday. I received a news
'release from Friends of the-Prairic, Milbank. S.D., which.was
promoting a busjour called "Passport to Prairie". The bus tour
will focus on national wildlife refuges. I'm sure there arc many

more examples as well.

I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that we live
.in a void, or in an area devoid of human habitation, or that
human habitation should be restricted from the area. Living here,
does have its hardships, but it's not without its comforts. One of
the hardships might well be having to put up with folks who ,
would like to kick out all human inhabitants, and those who
would rather sec fewer tax dollars spent in the "frontier". I can

think of an advant age too — peace a nd quiet.

BurTWdrTsuspcct, many others Iike~CaI's idea.' Let's just '- -
put out a sign that says "Welcome to the Frontier".

Understand
the patients'
bill of rights

by Jack Paris
President NFIB

"Patients' rights" legislation is
once again taking center stage in
Washington, D.C. The new leader-
ship in the Senate is making the
curbing of the HMO industry a pri-
ority and the' nature' of the subject
overall is making it news.

Health core affects everyone, so
when our elected officials talk (or
e vent jus t posture) about it. most

"Americans do, indccdT~1isicn. In
that way, it is unlike so many other
issues that are debated in our
nation's capital; it is truly impor-
tant to one and all. Unfonunatefy.'it ■-
is also one of the more complicat-
ed policy issues that legislators can
grapple with. Not to mention one
of the most financially significant.
Whether you purchase health
insurance on your own, sell health
insurance to others or provide it to
employees, the cost is critical.

Celebrate the Fourth of July from one
end of the continent to the other

■ by Mary KilTmcycr : ■
MN Secretary of Stale'

July 4th marks the 225th
anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence. We
have a great histoiy to celebrate!

The signing, and the patriots'
acts leading up to it, ore legendary:
From Samuel Adams and other
Bosionians who dumped crates of
tea into Massachusetts Bay in
protest of 'taxation without repre-
sentation': to Paul Revere, who
rode horseback to warn Samuel
Adams and John Hancock that
British soldiers were coming to

arrest' them; to Hancock and 56 oth-
ers who signed the Declaration of
Independence at the risk of being
executed.

John Adams, a signer of the
Dec I oral ion, and later President of
the United States, wrote that their
actions "ought to be celebrated by
. pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bch*5, bonfires,

Adams probably would be pleased 1
ihat, just os. the nation has expand-
ed from the cost coast across the '
continent, the celebration has
expanded to include all that he

envisioned, and more.

Independence Day has been
observed every year since 1777,
when Americans celebrated the
freedom and promise offered by the
Declaration of Independence.
Today, we can revel in the
founders' acts, and we can rally in
commitment to making America's
future even greater, through our
own acts of good citizenship.

. We have the privilege of being
able to look back and celebrate our
founders' heroic acts; I hope our
actions today will give future gen-
erations even more to celebrate on
Independence. Days yet to come!'

involved — the health-care indus-
try as a whole (including not Just
insurance, but the care itself —
doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharma-
ceuticals,, medical, supply .compa-.
nics, and on and on) makes up one-
seventh of our overall economy. .
There is much money to be made,
and (o be lost.-

And if .the money alone didn't
make this thing huge, the level of
passion surrounding un issue as
important as our health has helped
turn it into one of the media's
favorite issues.

... Minncsaia.Legislaiors stayed up
late this week to wrap up the 2001
legislative session and adopt a
S27.-3 billion two-year biTdgct.
With the pressure of a possible gov-
ernment shutdown just hours away.
Rep. Maxinc Penas (R-Badger)
said the House passed landmark tax
and spending bills mat will have an
impact for years to come not only
for families in northwestern
^Minnesota, but for "families
throughout the state. „

"Most significant is the S900
million tax btll,"'Pcnas said. "We'll

f;ct another rebate check sometime
aicr this summer but more imporr
. tant, the tax bill will substantially
reduce property taxes on all types
of property."

On homes, farms and apart-
— men Is - pro pcrty- tax* bi 1 1 s -wi 1 1 ■ drop,—

on average, about 25 percent. For
-businesses, the savings will aver-

age about 10 percent. Penas ;
property owners probably won't

sec the reductions for-months, but
the long-term implications for rural
Minnesota ore very beneficial —
more housing, expanded businesses
and jobs, and more profitable
farms.

"The impact will be slate-wide
and will directly affect almost,
every resident," Penas said. "This
is historic legislation."

-The other significant piece of
legislation this scssiorijs tnc"K-T2
education bill, Penas said. There is
S381 million in additional funding
for Minnesota schools (three times
more than what was sought by the
Governor).. When combined with
property tax levies, there will be a
total of $12.7 billion for K-12
schools, in 2002-2003. As pan of
the tax reform, the state will
jossume-the-cosi-of-the-state-man—
dated local general education

levies. . . . ..

"In addition, many schools,
especially in rural areas, will sec

added, funding because the K-12
bill contains provisions to increase
equity between schools in the
metro area and greater Minnesota."
Penas said. "The bill also provides
extra money for school districts
that don't have voter-approved
excess levies and. money to buy-
down the existing levies for. those
districts that do." "

Also Pena s sai d the K -12 educa-
tion bill. is signilicant because 6(1
some of the accountability meos*
urcs included in the bill which
encourage schools to look at new'
ways to pay and reward teachers.
. "Lang-term, these changes will
have what I hope will be a signifi-
cant and beneficial effect on
schools — better compensated
teachers, increased . student
achievement ond-grcQter' accounta-
bility to taxpayers and parents/'
Penas said --.-

We sec it on TV. And it is still dif-
ficult to decipher the "truth" about
the "patients bill of rights."

Is it good for patients or not I

Close Up Program thanks community

To the Editor: '

Democracy is more than a spec-
tator sport. For it lo survive and
flourish, wc all must become
active, engaged citizens. This is the
—message Lhcard.fi'om-828-students-.
representing 75 Minnesota high
schools, who recently participated
in the Close Up Foundation gov™
ernment studies program in

Wushingtoh.RG: ;.' -'.

For a full week these youth had
unique opportunities to develop a
.bcttcr.undcrstanding.of.oumJcmo-—
cratic process. History, govern-
ment, and current issues came alive

for them through meetings with

.congressional leaders, political
advisors, and journalists. In addi-
tion, they learned from other Close
Up participants from across the

.nation - through daily-dcbatcs-and
discussions.

Most important, they returned

"Ii5me""with a deepcr'awareness of
their responsibilities as citizens and
the realization that a single individ-
ual can make a difference. Their
newfound enthusiasm for involve-

-incntin ouT-iysicm of democracy is-
to be admired.

The Close Up experience was

— ^-v^ — : —

made possible through the efforts
of local educators and parents, and
the financial support of General
Mills, Inc.; The Jostcns
Foundation, Inc.; Russell T. Lund

-Charitable -Trust; Lutheran

Brotherhood: USX Foundation,
Inc.; and Wal-Mart Foundation. On
behalf of Close Up. I commend the'
dedication of the Thief River Falls
community, and look forward to
working with you for many years to

—Sincerely,

Alvin Keller
Minnesota Coordinator

Those in the small-business V
community who ore insured arc .
struggling each year .to afford the
cost of increasing- premiums. The
Congressional Budget Office has"
determined that the "rights" bill'
will increase premiums on average
of 4.2 percent. That number will
mean the difference between
"insured" and "uninsured" for
thousands of these people.

There is legislation in Congress
that would address the problem of
the uninsured. A new law allowing
the creation of Association Health
.plans, for example, would help the '
small-business community in par-
ticular, It is therefore disappointing
to me that '.'patients' rights" takes
up so many headlines when it jeal-
. ly only addresses such a small
_aspccuof_out-ovcrail_hcalth
troubles.

If you, like so many Americans,
arc passionate about improving
health care in this country, please
take a few moments to look at the
big picture, to think about whether
"patients' rights" legislation is any-
thing more than just a bund-aid that
would give a temporary sense of ■
justice and a political feather to
some groups. Think about how wc
can get this phenomenal free.mor-
. kci of ours the chance to lift the
quality of the system Up while
bringing the prices down. -And if
you need to sort out the forest from
the trees after watching the
evening news. . -t just ask your
—favorite— small-business owner

_what_the_biggesuchallengcs-are,

and what they think ought to be
done. They arc the real experts.

cost is $225.

"While no action was taken in regard to the proposed improve-

improvements proposed arc the building of a thirty-foot addition to
the rear end of the building and the re-modeling of the rooms:"

in April. Gruncwald's teacher, Marti
Simmons brought Poppenhagen,
and it was. the second time he and
Grunewald met.

"As a teacher. I get so tired about

For Peter, it was ihe story "A les :

ihe "Acccnl" section of The Forum
on Tuesday, May 8. "It was one of
ihe biggest moments of my life," he
said Saturday, and he tallied about
how 77ie Forum photographer spent

Offerdahl, the early afternoon
reunion was attended by classmates
Eleanor (Carlson) Christofferson
and Walter Steinhauer. of Thief
River Falls. Beatrice (Wedul)
Wilson of Goodridge and Stella
(VeVea) Sande of Grand Forks.

The classmates aren't sure just
how many other surviving class-
mates there are. "There's a few scat-
tered around the country," one com- .
merited.

With twinkles in their eyes, those
in attendance, however, busied
themselves* telling the usual
"Remember whenT' stories, and as
they posed for a photograph for
their hometown newspaper, shared
the sentiments of one of jhe ladies
who said, "I just feel so lucky to be

--—The- recent resignation - of
Challenger Assistant Principal John

Willi options, and it discussed at

All members agreed that they-

the media gencralist position would
be eliminated for a period' of one

Ruttcn had provided the board with

Andrea Olin dives in with dolphins

Local girl interns with Dolphins Plus in Key Largo, Florida

Andrea Olin and one of the dolphins at Dolphins Plus practice
tricks with a hulahoop. During her six-week internship at
Dolphins Plus in Key Largo, Fla., A ndrea learned of the numerous
"talents tha'dolphlnspossessed. ' '■

by Becky Mattson
Reporter .

.„_Remcmr>cring_back-io.-5evcnlh
grade, Andrea Olin knew what she
wanted to be when she grew up-a
dolphin trainer.

Andrea's story begins with a
short story she read called
"Swimming with Dolphins" in sev-
enth grade. The slory told of a Itcmi-

. plegic - someone without Ihe use of
one arm and leg • who learned to
reach beyond her normal limits with
the help of a dolphin named Fonzic.
Over time Andrea's curiousity
about dolphins grew and in April of
1998 Andrea and her family visited
Dolphins Plus. Dolphins Plus is a
mannc mammal research and edu-
cation center located in Key Largo,
Fla. The facility houses 12 Atlantic
Bottlcnosc Dolphins and two
California Sea Lions.

After this exciting eye-opener

. into_thc_dolphins*_world, Andrea
applied for an internship in

November of 2000 at Dolphins Plus.
She was accepted in February of
2001 and began hersix-weck intcm-
-ship .on-Muy-9.- Along -wiih-her-
iniemship also came a research
project Andrea has to complete on
"How enthusiasm affects dolphins'
behavior."

During Andrea's six-week
internship, she took notes on differ-
ent activities that occurred, followed
a dolphin trainer around daily, and
was able to swim alone with the dol-
phins.

"Each dolphin responded differ-
ently to each one or the trainers at
Dolphins Plus," said Andrea.

She- also helped feed each dol-
phin an average of 20 pounds of
fresh fish four times a day. The fresh
fish^ consislcd . of four species
including herring, caplin, sardines ,
and silvcrsides. Pills were inserted
into each dolphin's serving of fish
one time daily to allow the dolphins
to attain all oftlicirncccssary vita —
mins.

Dolphins Plus operates a marine
mammal facility involved in e nvi-
ronmentnreducatidh p'ragrams'riri-.
-water -therapy- w;'ih disabled chil-
dren, and the study of intcr-specics
interaction between dolphins and
humans. The facility also works
closely wtih non-profit organiza-
tions such as the Marine Mammal
Rescue Foundation and the in-wuter
therapy programs offered by Island
Dolphin Care.

visitors to Dolphins Plus can
enjoy either a Natural Swim session
or a Structured. Swim session. The
Natural Swim session includes an
informational briefing and a natural
swim in snorkcling equipment with
the dolphins. The Structured Swim
session includes an educational
briefing, guaranteed contact with
the dolphins, and use of flotation
vests instead of snorkcling equip-
ment. Participants in ihe Structured
Swim session may also enjoy feed-
ing the dolphins. : —
Island Dolphin Cure is a non-

profit organi/aliun at Dolphins Plus
„devclppcd,io hclp_ehj Idren and.thcir.. .
families who are dealing will] vari-
ous developmental, physical, and/or"
emotional difficulties. Their philos-
ophy is to provide a recreational'
program which focuses on Ihe emo-
tional and physical well-being of the
participant and his/her family. The
program features educational, recre-
ational, and motivational activities
to assist participants in reaching
Ihcir fullest potential. At Island
Dolphin Care. Ihcy believe thai
through specifically designed recre-
ational experiences, families share a
unique bond which might oilicrwisc
be overlooked in having a special
needs family member.

"Tile dolphins are used as a moti-
vational tool instead of a cure. There
is a special program, catlcd Fonzic

Local preacher re-evaluates faith
after preaching Gospel |n India

Prcadiine the Gospel can take

humbling.

The Rev. George Bunnell of

1 1 through March .V The purpose
of Hie mission was 10 preach [lie
Bible at schools and witness to
_God!s_w.ork_ by, evangelizing, from _
village to village. "It was a life-
changing experience." said Ret.
-Bunnell.

"The people are happy iluiug.li
they sjiffer great poverty." said

—Rcvr Bunnell. "■ — —— — "

Structured by a eastc system that
leaves individuals unable to
improve upon their status, and a
religious -tervor ihat excommuni-
cates and' persecutes Christians.
belief and happiness shows great
dedication to taith.

Rev. Bunnell witnessed this
faith. Lines of people, he said.
would form wherever they weni.
All they' wanted, he explained, was
for someone to pray for them,
" ' ' ' -fuilh-in-

ChiUlren's Home where [he chil-.
dreii' would rise at 4 a,m. every day
and siti}:. lie witnessed this faith in
Christians who would pray for
America' because America seems to
worship materialism. . ,

Rev, Bunnell s;ii<i he had (o re-
evaluate his faith' because he saw
how strong their faith was. He said
he relumed til the United States
with the feeling thai we have a lot
.to.be jliankful.lor.. '

Hverywhere he went in India he
said there were beggars. In- many
instances children were being used

Bunnell said he really wanted u>

suddenly seven men were right
there ready to lake it from her.
Poverty. Rev. Bunnell said, is so

-bad that children are being deliber- •
aiely maimed in order to act as beg-
gars on the street.

While there. Bunnell said he
witnessed the baptism of seven
people. He explained that when an
individual is converted to
Chri-aianity he or she is excommu-
nicated.. Frequently these people

-are-persecuted by-friends iind-l'ami^-

"Being a Christian in India,"
Bunnell said, "means you must be
willing to give your life."

Bunnell went to India with the
"Love and Care Ministries in
Indiu." This organization is led by
Yosupadam (Jesus' Foot), .who
Bunnell said before his conversion
in 1976. was a communist and a
murderer: Since Ycsupadam's con-
version.. Bunnell said he has plant-

five Children's Homes, an Old
People's Home and u Bible
College. Now. Bunnell said, they
are planning to raise $160,000 to
build a hospital

.While in India, "Rev. Bunnell'
said Ycsupadam's life and the life
of his wife and children' were
threatened. They did not carry
through with their threat, though.

Rev, Bunnell was on the trip
with seven other people from the
United Suites,. This group went
from village to village. lo sing and
preach the Gospel. It was an event,'
which he would like to repeat some
day.

Gates-help
MN libraries
_get more
computers

Minnesota public libraries will
receive donated computer hard-
ware, software, and training worth
about SS.2 million .from the Bill
and Mclinda Gates Foundation,
according to the Department of
Children. Fumilics & Learning
(CFL).

ThcBill-and-Mclinda -Gates '

Foundation has given preliminary
approval to provide 451 computers
to 209 public library buildings in
Minnesota. Additionally, the
—Foundation-will . provide.- 1 1 - com- —
putcr training labs, each with II
computers, which will be located
throughout the state for staff train-
ing and public use. CFt's Library
Development and Services office
served as the liaison between the
foundation and the public libraries.
'Though almost all our public
libraries offer Internet access, most
currently limit the amount of lime
customers arc allowed to use com-
puters due to high demand," said
CFL commissioner Christine Jax.
' Ph;Dr"Thanksto ihehard work-of-
CFL's Joyce C. Swongcr and her
stuff who help support Minnesota's
public libraries, and the generosity
of the Bill & Mclinda Gates
Foundation, more Minnesotans
will have access to the information
they need." *

" rhe grants went to libraries in
communities with at least a 10 per-
cent poverty level. The number of
computers each library building
will receive will depend -on the
population served at each library.
Twenty-eight libraries chose to"
obtain Spanish- as well as English-
- language computer systems. -

Each library will send one or
more staff members to one of
seven computer, instruction and
maintenance workshops offered at
locations around the state July 19-
27. These workshops will instruct
library staff and the public lo effec-
tively identify and use electronic .

.resources. Jrhc_12.rcgional. public

library systems thai receive CFL
assistance will spearhead the train- /
ing initiatives. Other organizations \
and government agencies will also
be able lo attend the free training.
Libraries will then receive jUicir
computers and additional training
between October 2001 and- April
2002. " ■

Also, as a result of this year's
legislation signed by Governor
Jesse Ventura. Minnesota libraries
can draw on $400,000 in each of
the next two years for online and
other databases that will give state
residents even greater access to
information.

As of May 2001. the Bill and
Mclinda Gates .Foundation U.S.
Library Program has completed
funding to 6,442 public library
buildings, with the installation of
computers with Internet access
completed in 18 states and

SPEAKING
OF...

...He's Guilty of Something
Frankly, I don't care that Representative Gary Condin had an affair
with his intern, Chandra Levy. I don't care if he has had several affairs
with womcm-I figure things like that are only the business of Condin, the
woman, and the wife. They are certainly none of my business, since he
isn't my representative. If he were, it might be a different story.

year olds, will get underway at
■ Challenger Elementary School on
Monday. July 23. To be held every
Monday from 10 a.m. to noon
through August 20 in (he media
center, the club will give kids the
chance to explore their individual
special interests through hands-on
activities and electronic and prim
resources. ■

Northwest Regional Library,
sponsor of the club; will encourage
"reluctant readers" to become
turned on to the vast amounts of
information on subjects that may
seem far out but catch the fancy of
this age group. The club will
"dare" kids to discover such topics
as "shocking moments," "real life
adventures," "awesome explo-
rations," "amazing inventions,"
"outdoor life," or any subject of
their choice.

"We arc targeting kids who read
well enough to be ineligible for
Title I programs, but. don't enjoy
reading enough to read for pleasure
during their free times." said

KaIinoski.."Wc.siiIl.havc-ourrcgu-
'lar summer reading program' at the
library, but I've realized that the
summer reading- program, popular
as it is. isn't reaching, the kids who
need it most - the reluctant read-
ers."

The library has received a grant
for this pilot project from the
Minnesota Office of Library
Development to help combat the
widening gap between the worst
and best readers among grade
schoolers. According to U.S.A.
Today, only 32 percent of the
nation's fourth graders read at
grade level. The consequence of
rcadinc failure in a technology-
dependent world is a host of social
and economic tils.

With the gram money, the library
has purchased u special collection
of materials containing everything
from comic books to non-fiction
titles on stich subjects us dirt bikes.

Representative Condm has been anything but helpful in aiding her family
in their search for her. We first heard that he considered her a good friend
and were told that he would help to find her in every way. lie lied about
that.

Condin has shown himself to be a guilty man.

He's guilty of waiting two months after Levy went missing to final-
ly admit to having an extramarital affair with her. By wailing with his
admission, he has obstructed the investigation of her disappearance and
perhaps allowed vital evidence to fall by the wayside. If he cared enough
about her to have an affair with her, wouldn't you think he might have
been n little worried when sh* disappeared into thin air, and wouldn't he
have wanted to help find her in any way he could? Or do you think maybe
■ he was just worried about covering his own rear and make sure he didn't
get found out? He's guilty.

He's guilty, of lying. Doesn't anyone care that the man has been
jying? In two previous police interviews, he said he hadn't been involved
in an intimate relationship with Levy, lie gave press conferences denying
an affair with Levy. Oh, my, no, he did not have an affair with Levy, he
said. Now in the past weekend he lias admitted to having an affair. Thai
means he lied when he said he was just a friend. Isn't there something
wrong with this picture?

"Oh, Isn't it nice that he has come forward with this information?
What a noble thing to do- ndmitt© the affair! Heit being such an upstand-
ing guy!" You've got to be kidding! He flat-out lied! Doesn't anybody care
about the lying he did? Docs taking two months to getting around to
_ telling.tlic.tmth-iiiake.hima. great guyiUc's guilty.

How can we trust that Condin is telling the truth now? Frankly, if I
were. the. investigators, I -would trusfhim about us for -as lean sec him.
Seems to me it look quite a bit of pressure to gel him to admit to the affair
as it is and one can't help but wonder if he would have admitted it at all if
things hadn't siartcd.to neat up. Would he have.come forward if it hadn't
been for the pressure by' the media on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Levy and the
damning statement by Chandra Levy's aunt, Linda Zamsky, in which
Linda said she was, aware ofa relationship between her niece and Condin:

Despite the fact that I don't care that he had an affair with Levy, I
feel Condin is guilty of taking advantage of his position. Yes. she was 24
years old and should have known what she was doing. But he was a 53-
year-old politician, n representative of her home stale, a player in Ihc gov-
ernment game. No matter how old she was, she had siars in her eyes.

By having a relationship with a young, impressionable intern,'
Condin abused his position of power. He knew she was young and easily
influenced, and that she was infatuated with him. I'm sure lie knew what
was going on when he chose to have an affair with her. He knew he was
the boss in the affair and she was the little slave, enthralled by ihc big
man, and, what's more, that was ihc way he liked it. His hiding of the
affair was proof that he knew it was not an admirable thing to do. He's
guilty.

What is it about politicians that allows them lo think that they, can
- lie and cheat.and conduct themselves outside the law and lhai they won't
be punished? Are they above and beyond the laws that govern thercst of
us? Gee, could it be because they arc allowed to continuously do things
.that are -again si the law and do not get any mare punishment than a slap
-'on the hands, if that? Why aren't they held as accountable as the rest of '
us? -

What a shame that so many of the tenders of our country seem to
think they are above being governed by the laws they arc elected to
uphold. -

PARENTING TIPS
Families an the Go

Today's families have a lifestyle
that is much different ihun families
had 20 and 30 years ago. Today's
families are on the go! They go out
to work, play and cat. They go
shopping, to sporting events and
"travelings In"uddltion"nbour25"pcr=-r
cent move each year. Parents need - '
to remember thai children don't
always travel as easily as adults.
"Howcverwithsomeaovanccplan-—
ning and preparation children can
enjoy outings as much as adults.

Here are some tips for outings of
any kind (in or out of town):

•Whenever possible plan around ■
your child's nap time.

•Keep a few disposable diapers in
your cars glove compartment. To
make cleanups easier, tuck a pack-
aged towclcttc and _a plastic bag'
inside of each diaper.

■Freeze a plastic container 1/3 to
1/2 full of water. When you are '
ready to go, fill the container with
water for a long-lasting, cold thirst
quencher. Water is healthy, quench-
es the thirst, and isn't messy if
spilled.

•Always carry a change of
clothes for young children.

•Avoid shopping, when you can,
by catalog shopping. You can com-
pare prices in peace and quiei as
well as save time, money *and gas.
SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT

Talk to your child about where
you are going and what your child
can expect.

Two faith-based financial
service providers merge

Calling it an unprecedented
opportunity to "meet more needs,
help more people, and increase our
future growth," leaders of Aid.
Association far Lutherans (AAL)
and Lutheran Brotherhood (LB)
announced plans to merge the two
fraternal benefit societies by year's
end.

The announcement follows ini-
tial approval by the boards of direc-
tors for LB and AAL. John O.
Gilbert, chairman, president and
CEO of AAL (headquartered in
Applcton, Wis!) and Bruce J.
Nicholson, president and CEO of
LB (headquartered in Minneapolis)
shared the news with employees in
Minneapolis and Applcton and
with their field staffs nationwide.

"The merger is an outstanding
opportunity for us to build a frater-
nal benefit society^unlikc any yet
seen," Gilbert stated. "Because
AAL und LB were founded for the
same reasons and share remarkably
similar missions, il is a very com-
pelling business transaction."

"It will combine the strength

and potential of two leaders in the

financial products industry, and

~ extend the Christian framework of

our organization." said Nicholson.

The merged organization will
have almost 3 million members,
with almost $60 billion in assets
— und.er-manngcmentr-Thc-currcnt—
- members of LB and AAL will
become members of the combined
organization. The- new organiza-
tion's corporate center will be
based in Minneapolis, and its oper-
ations center will be in Applcton.

By merging, the new fraternal
benefit society will be positioned to
offer even more in asset manngc-
; ment, insurance,' and 'financial

Planning products and services,
olh LB and AAL are listed on the
list of Fortune 500 companies. The .
combined organization will rank
among, the top financial -service
providers, but will continue to offer
its products consistently with its
mission as o fraternal benefit socie-
ty. / . ..

As a fraternal benefit society,
the Financial aspects of die organi-
zation arc 'only part of the picture,
, "We intend to offer new and
enhanced programs and services to
our members ihrough our charita-
ble outreach," said Gilbert.

Gilbert and Nicholson also -
promised lo continue ihc strong tra-
dition of corporate citizenship and
giving in both Ihc Twin Cities and

-thc-FoxCillCT

Completing the merger requires
approval from several government _
"agenciesrlnaddition. approximate-

ly 300 LB member delegates must,
vote on the merger. LB will con-
vene the delegates later in the year.
The AAL board also must grant
final approval. Members of AAL
and LB will receive the formal
merger agreement in advance of
those votes.

Speaking with employees,
Gilbert said that ihc merged organ-
ization "will continue lo Be a mujor
employer in boih Applcton and
Minneapolis." LB and AAL have u
combined workforce of 7,100 peo-.
pie, which includes both home
office staffs, as well as ihc nation-
wide field staffs.

"Through this merger, we
expect to nuvc more members to
serve, which means our financial
services and products will broaden
and grow, and in turn, wc will be
providing more charitable out-
reach," said Nicholson.

"We are providing our members
wilh insurance and other financial
services, self-help and volunteer
opportunities op n scale our
founders could not have imag-
ined" Gilbert said. "Now wc must
anticipate and respond lo the needs
people will have tn this new centu-
ry."

Should the merger be approved,
Gilbert will 'be chairman of the
board and Nicholson will be prcsi-
-dcnt-and-chicf-executivc-orficcrr-
Nicholson and Gilbert will have
their offices in Minneapolis. The
senior management team will con-
sist of several executives from each
organization.

A new name for the combined
organization has not yet been
selected. The new identity will
come out of the work of transition
teams, composed of representatives ~
from both LB and AAL.

DANGEROUS
DRINKING GAMES

House parties, a day at the lake with friends,

and a bonfire out at the farm are all fun events - but

what seems like harmless fun can turn out to be anything but.

At first it has a glamorous appeal - your friends do it,

you try it and like the way it feels; you don't have to be yourself

but binge drinking is an easy way to do harm to yourself

and someone else.

Don't play games with your life or someone else's."

It has been 10 years since 1 have
traveled west into Moniana. Last
week I decided it wus time to see

jlie mountains again. .

" On family vacalions when I'was
a child, Idooked forward lo seeing
the mountains as much as I might
look forward. to seeing u Twins
game.

. As wc. crept, west across the
prairie in ihe LTD station wagon, I
Kept my eyes peeled for mountains
in ihe distance. 1 usually started
seeing snow-capped peaks on ihe
horizon just wesl of Bismarck. Of
course, those mountains always
turned out to be clouds. Or a
mirage. ■-._.■—,

A day luier when 'we reached
Billings, we finally could make out
in ihe distance the snow fields of
the Beanoolh range lo die south. ■
As we drove closer, the moun-
tains looked scary, foreboding.
Thunderstorms hovered over the
ranges in the afternoons. The sheer
clifls seemed ominous lo a child of
the prairie, butjhri I j jng al. ihe same __
time.

One wonders, whui is it about
mountains thai is so alluring, thai
draws thousands of, people thou-
sands of miles? Perhaps- it is- the-
combination of beauty and danger
which makes mountains so irre-
sistible.

Montana is crawling with
tourists right now, and most of
litem won^ bait a line or walk a
trail. They come to see the moun-
tains.

- -I have often wondered, do peo —
pie who live, near mountains gel
used to iticm und take iheni lor
granted?

My great-grandmother came
across'from Norway. Although/she
was happy over here arid loved her
little house in Twin Valley, she
once said that ihe only thing miss-
ing in tho new country was a moun-
tain out back.

Mountains have mystical power.

Down On
The Farm

Many Indian tribes consider them
sacred. Some people talk aboui
mountains as'if they were friends
An Old Testament figure once suiiL

'I look lo Ihe" 'mountains. Trn'm
whence comcih my strength."

Seems like an odd statement,
until one drives between two
mountain ranges, through one of
Montana's grand valleys. From the
highway, the line of sighi extends
up to fifty miles in every direction.
Within lhal view siand millions of
trees and do/ens of snow covered
peaks.

Those mountains have been
there for thousands of years, virtu-
ally unchanged. They towered
there before wc arrived, and they'll
be llierc long after wc ore gone.

Such alpine grandeur can make
one feel as inconsequential as an
anl. You'd think one would feel
overwhelmed, dwarfed, belittled.
But 1 feel nothing of ihe sort, and I
don'l think anybody else docs,
'either.

Instead, by reminding us of our

"smallncss. thc~sc 'sighis give its' u" "

perspective wc lack buck at the

office, a perspective us broad as the

Montana sky.

Thegodlikc grandeur of moun-
tains makes life's problems seem
small.. Mountain scenes refresh the
spirit and culm the mind. Mountain
air invigorates the imagination.

No wonder wcslem, Moniana
crawls with immigrants from the'
city, tourists, artists, und others
who seek relief from ihe fatigue of
-lifc-on— the— treadmill. They've ■■
comcih to ihe mountains lo gcttcth
some strength.

—-The loon became Minnesota's"
official siatc bird in 1961, after sev-

eral attempts to have official status
placed on the American goldfinch
failed. School children polled at the
lime overwhelmingly supported the
scarlet tanager but the loon eventu-
ally prevailed as the symbol for
' Minnesota's north country selling.
Minnesota has the largest popula-
tion of loons in Ihe lower 4r! states.
Loons are excellent swimmers with
powerful legs located more to the
rear of the body than most ducks
which conversely makes for poor
land mobility. In fact, origin of trie
word' "loon" is traced to the
Scandinavian "loom" or English
"lumme." meaning a lummox or
awkward person which is true of the
bird's I an J locomotion.

Nongumc Wildlife Program are ask'
ing birders and outdoor enthusiasts
to be on the lookuut for a rare
Minnesota species of bird, the log-
gerhead shnkc, and to report uny

According to Steve Kitlelson,

Loggerhead shrikes are unusual

ically impale iheir food to hold it

About ihe si/c of a robin, the log-

tive black musk.

Loggerhead shrikes usually
inhabit prairie or agricultural areas,
arid are often conspicuous as Ihey

to six dull white, or buff-colored
eggs: The chicks hatch after 10 to 1 2
days and leave ihe nest about three

workshop will have a new format
this September. The workshop will
take place at Eagle Bluff Environ-
mental Center in Lancsboro Sept. 7-
9.

"We have combined two very
popular offerings into a weekend,"
said Becoming An Outdoors
Woman Coordinator Jean Bergcr-
son. "Saturday will be a return to the
Field Day format w'c used for sever-
al years, which means ladies will be

_abie_.ta_sample_3cvcruL_cIussc5,
throughout the day. Some women
might want to return to a class more
than once during die day."

Courses will be on a 1.5 hour for-
mat instead of the usual 3.5. hours..

. This will give participants the
opportunity to attend many classes
and for BOW to offer courses that
do not lend themselves lo a longer
time period. New- courses offered
under .this format arc air rifle,
climbing wall and dog talk.

Sunday will be a day to focus on
just one activity. Women can choose
one of six activities offered. The
offerings will highlight the outdoor

activities . southeastern Minnesota
has to offer. Canoe the Rool River,
spend ihe day caving, biking the
Root River Trail, or fly-fishing area
streams and rivers.

Each activity will have instruc-
tors to answer questions, help par-
ticipants Icam. and provide guid-
ance for (he day.

Woman can register for the entire
weekend or Saturday only. Weekend
registration is for Friday evening
through Sunday.

"w e hope the flexible schedule
. and new format will encourage par-
ticipation by ladies who were
unable to- attend the Friday noon
through Sunday noon workshops,"
_Bcrgcrson said. :.._.. _..

Limited scholarships arc avail-
able to women who want to partici-
pate for the entire weekend. Space
is limited for the Sunday offerings,
so early registration is advised.

-Editorial opinion-published under-lhls-headlng Is intended to stimulate Ihinklng-and discussion among our readers. Unlessspsclded olheralsenheedllorlals areTsirllten bsrEdllor Da6e"HIII"and _
do not represent opinion of other staff members. Opinions In items from other publications may not coincide with the editor's own views but are offered for their general Interest.

We are asked to
participate in a free
and safe society

Thief River Falls Police department has been drawing close
10 the community through a number of initiatives called com-
munity policing, first pursued by Police Chief Ken Froschheiser.
and then by Police Chief Jim Haugen. Perhaps as a result of __
these initiatives and programs law enforcement is reporting a
decline in the number of crimes. It is. however.retuming law
enforcement to The People 1 . 7~ — __-.—.__

I'm not sure that the decline in crime can be directly attrib-
uted to community policing ulone.-There are many factors that
would surely impact criminal activity, such as an improved
economy, a "younger and more aggressive" staff, maybe even
the weather. It is gratifying, however, to see the crime rate .
decline, a nd commu nity policing has certainly helped increasc_
visibility and understanding.

Regardless. Police Chief Jim Haugen recently said the police
department needs to increase the understanding, of community
policing within the city and department. He added that he will
continue to work to increase police visibility and involvement in
the community.

Community Policing requires that citizens be active pnr-

ticlpants.

■ I'm sure I can't enumerate all of the benefits of community
policing, but with it comes a greater understanding of the diffi-
cult job police have. With it comes a greater understanding of
our iawsrWtth ircomcs:a"Brcatcr responsibility, on our pan. to
participate in activities that guarantee we all live in a safe and
free society.

Unintended, but surely a benefit of community policing, is

the fact that because of citizen involvement we become more

aware of how the court system works. True, we're not experts
and we aren't expected to be experts, but having a basic knowl-
edge of how-the system works, seems to eliminate some of the
■ -false perceptions — fear that the system can be manipulated by
the rich, that court is against '.'certain" people, or that there's
some kind of conspiracy, for example.

There is the fear too that community policing is turning citi-
zens into informants and docile sheep. What's missing is the
fact the laws being enforced by officers wc pay with our tax
dollars, were created in response to citizen demands — the
demands of all of us.

In a sense community policing is returning the system to the
people it was created for — The People — and there's no reason
we shouldn't, within certain bounds, actively participate.

While Police Chief Haugen has said that he will work harder
to increase visibility and understanding, the implication is that,
for it to work, citizens must be willing to participate, and in a
sense, be willing to meet him halfwa^When^we get right down;_
— to it, without citizen'participationrcbmmuhity^IicihgTnitia^
lives and programs won't work. * ■

Nearly 38 percent of the visitors (69), voted against the poll

emerged from their cocoons as small brown moths. For a short
time they covered walls of homes and businesses and the ground

Court should take over redisricting

by Mary KifTmcycr

MN Secretary of State

Do you know where you live?
You may know your street, city,
and state, hut do you know your
2002 legislative district? How
_ about. .your- congressional district?-
If you don't, you're not alone; in
fact, no one knows.

As a result of the 2000 census,
Minnesota is now in the process of
"rcdistricting" — the grouping of
people for purposes or representa-
tion in government.
' The process allows for the stale
legislature 10 draw new lines every
10 years to produce election dis-
tricts of relatively similar popula-
tion. Once the new staic-Icvcl dis-
tricts are changed, then local gov-
ernments go about the process of
drawing their'new districts — for
county board of commissioners,
city council, school board and
^morc._UltimateIy.i-officials_are_
elected io represent the new dis-
tricts, so il is easy to see why the
process causes conflict: political
power is at stale. Still, the conflict
should not be insurmountable. .

Regrettably, (hough, in the-lcg-
islalive session that just ended, the
legislature failed to adopt a rcdis-
tricting plan. While the House

passed u plan of Republican design,
and the Senate passed u plan of
Democratic design, no conference
committee meetings were even
held to discuss (he radically diver-
gent plants, let alone lo forge a
compromise for enactment. In Tight
of the stakes involved and the con-
flict already on display, court chal-
lenges arc almost guaranteed, no
matter what plan the legislature
would eventually adopt, thereby
delaying resolution even more.
Indeed, court resolutions over
rcdistricting are quite common.

While the law permits passage
of a rcdistricting plan as lute as next
March, prudence would have it
enacted long before thai deadline.

Our democratic republic bene-
fits from an informed electorate.
Voters need information about their
new election districts to make good ■
decisions and know the candidates '
seeking to represent them. Voter
-cunfusionand th&patcniial for-vot —
ing in the wrong location would be
reduced if the rcdistricting plan
were implemented sooner rather
than later. This would allow elec-
tion officials more time to notify
voters of ihcir new polling place
locations and allow voters more
time to become educated about
their new districts and rep rc.scn lu-

ll would be a shame if the legis-
lature's or the political parties'
inability lo agree on a rcdistricting
plan were to result in thousands of
confused or under-informed voters.

Understanding this, I recently
wroic to the legislature's redistrict--
ing committee members, urging
litem immediately to adopt a plan
for the benefit of voters, out lo rla
avail.

There is another solution .to this
problem: In instances where .the
legislature appears to be in dead-
lock over rcdistricting with no Hope
of compromise, us clearly is trie
case this year, the Minnesota
Supreme Court has the prerogative
lo step in ut any lime and take over
the process.

It's time. Left any longer to the
legislature, the rcdistricting process .
is likely just to'chew up valuable
lime that could be spent in educat- -
-ing-vaicrs and-simply-to-wasic-tux -
dollars on legislators' expenses.
The people of Minnesota deserve
better.

Given our stale's history on
rcdistricting, it seems like plain
common sense that, far the benefit
of the voters, the State Supreme
Court should step in and lake over
the process right now.

Phasing but
the death tax
helps small
businesses

by Jack Furls
NF1B President

On Thursday, June 7. the
— ProsidcnuaLthe— United-Slates—
signed into law a bill that ctinil~
nates the most feared tax of the
American entrepreneur: the death
tax.

. It will take a few years to "phase
il'oui," but in 2010 small-business
owners ' across America, will
*reaihe a sigh of relief that we'll all
be able to hear.

Dcmonizcd by repeal opponents
as a "lax on the rich," the death tax
has been affecting middle-class
farmers, ranchers and business
owners for dccades.Opponcnts
denied (his reality, saying that only
a tiny fraction of Americans "ever
pay the lax."

This was true. But it was also
true that srhull^busmcss owners
were often left with no choice but
to sell their businesses before their
death, unable to pass the legacy on
to their children without being dev-
astated by the lux.

It was also true that the mere
possibility of being subject to the
tax served as a disincentive to grow
businesses, create new jobs and
better products.

The death tax was bud news and '
un-American, and everyone knew
it. For the congress and the presi-
dent to repeal it is u great, historic -
moment for the small-business
community. It is a great battle-vic-
tory in the larger war against taxa-
tion that is too high and often fun-
damentally unfiiir.

The tax cut bill also included a
reduction in income lax rates: more
good news 'for small employers!
Since uboul 85 percent of small-
business owners file their taxes as
individuals, not as corporations,
this cut means more money for
employee salaries and benefits,
much-needed cash for upgrading
equipment, und in some cases the.
breathing room necessary to give
employees a bonus check for a job

Linda Runbcck. president of the
Taxpayers League of- Minnesota.—
reminded Minnesotans. last week
that July 6. was "Cost of
Government Duy." the date on
which the average Minnesota has
earned enough gross income to pay
off his or her share of tax and regu-
latory burdens imposed by all lev-
els of government.

Many Minncsolans may remem-
ber that Tax Freedom D ay for
~~ M I nncso I a came on May I th i s y ea"r~~
— one of the latest dates ever. By
adding the burden of 'federal," state"
und local regulations to the cost of

taxes, Americans for Tax Reform
calculated Cost of Government -
Day to be nearly two months later,
July 6.

Both Tax Freedom Day and Cost
nf„Govcmmcnt day have been" get-
ting later in the year. Since 1990.
the time Americans must work to
pay the costs of government has
been extended by two and one-half
weeks. Since 1995. over 21,000
new federal re gulations were
issued." " ~

"Minnesotans ha ve a ri g ht -'to
feci overburdened "by-government. ~
Wc now work half the year just io

pay the costs imposed by govern-
ment.- — : —

"Minnesotans often don't realize
the hidden costs of government,
such as regulation. .What the Cost
of Government Day docs is vividly
demonstrate just how much all that
government bureaucracy costs us,
both in taxes and increased cosis,"
said Runbcck.. .

Thankfully, (he Bush tax cut will
help to reduce th e cost o f govern-

So to those who say that mar-
ginal income (ax rate cuts are also
"for the rich." 1 say "not so!" When
u tax break is given lo a business
owner il absolutely benefits the
-wage-and-sulury worker. Period.
Because in the world of small busi-
ness, employees are the most valu-
able assets. Small employers want
to invest in their people whenever
financially possible.

Wulch; you will sec. This tux-
cut bill will huvc u positive impact
on our economy because it is going
to have a positive impact on the
nation's job-creators. They are not
"the rich." They are not out-of-
touch. They are real people who
provide our communities with real
jobs. Th,cy are also the most gener-
ous people I know. . . and they will
use their tax break to" lift up others.

It will be a wonderful American
thing to sec.

To the Editor:

Cornerstone Christian School
was the site of something reminis-
cent of the old-fashioned bam rais-
ing during the first week of July. It
was also a week of extreme joy and
sorrow at the school.

__ During that week a group of 23 .
adulis and teenagers from
Redeemer Lutheran Church in
Rockford. 111., came io Cornerstone
School for a work week. The group
arrived on Sunday and during the
following week accomplished an
unbelievable amount or work —
shingling the building, putting sid-
ing and new windows on one wall
of the gym. painting und doing
some-repair on (he rest of llie exte-
rior walls, and also doing some
interior painiing. While they
worked liard, they did everything -

■ with enthusiasm 'and joy. Mcul
limes were filled .with.lauglitcr and

-good-natured teasing. Adulis and
ieemigers_workcd together with
mutual respect for one another's'

abilities.

People from our area ulso-did-
their port. Several people donated
equipment and tools for the project,
and several helped with the work
itself. And, many individuals, fam-
ilies, church groups and AAL
.groups provided meals and snacks
for those who worked.

The evenings were filled with
Bible study, pravcrs and singing.

Sorrow had its part in the week
also. On Thursday evening, Paul
Binder, one of the accompanying
adults, passed away suddenly. '
Although, thc.cuuse of dcuthissull
not certain, he did have severe dia-
betes. He died when the group, hot
from a day'* work; went tora quick-
swim in cold water.

Thanks and gratitude are in
order to many people: to Dill
Kuccnski, Redeemer's youth group
leader, who coordinated lite whole,
trip; to Darold and Dorothy
Sicphanson. my brother-in-law and
sister, who guvc Bill the idea for-

ibc project: lo everyone in. the
group — youths and adults — who
gave tip a week's time to work on
our school; lo LcRoy Mcrcil and
his boys and others who. helped
with the work: to all who brought
and served meals and snacks for the
workers: to members of the clergy
who ministered to the group fol-
lowing Paul's death; and special
gratitude to Puul Binder who
worked tirelessly for others and
provided a wonderful role model
for the youth of his church and
community.

Il was an emotional departure
when the group left on Friday. They
had become family 1 — brothers and
sisters" in Christ"^ - Inth^dayyilfcy 7
speni wiih us. They rcprcsenled
Jesus well as they visited our com-
munity.

this portion of the day's event in his usual dignified way. The
Declaration of Independence was read by J. K. Hannay und brief
putriotic addresses were made by Rev. Hammond, in the English
language and Rev. Lundc, in Norwegian. Both speakers were well

events. Event organizer Shelby Sorvlg said in past years they've played in rain and cold, but noth-

"For eight -time world champion
bull rider and Hall of Fomcr Don
Gay, watching the bulls, seeing
some "of the young bull riders

Erogrcss. and seeing .them team
ow to win at bull nding all help
keep him young at heart.

"It keens mc from wishing I was
25 again,' Gay said of the bull rid-
ing announcing that he docs all over
the nation and on television.

Gay was first invited to the
Pennington County Fair Rodeo last
year.

"1 remember mosquitoes as big
as my tennis shoes," Gay said of his
initial visit.

I doing the

' "Thunder on
Hooves" bull riding portion of the
rodeo, a job reserved for an expert
who can tell fans what they just saw"
a bull rider do. And Gay is certain-
ly an expert, having rode his way to
eight world titles, the most or any
bull rider. He also shares a place in
ihc Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame with
his father, Ncal Gay. They arc the
only father/son team in the Hall.

Gay retired in 1986 from the
sport, but continued on as an
announcer and rodeo producer.
Today he regularly announces on
the TNN network.

"Rodeos and bull riding-it's a lot
bigger than one would think," Gay
said, "with television coverage and
everything. -It's— totally action
packed." ■

Scoring

Gay said scoring is based on an
eight-second ride. A bull rider must
stay on format amount of time just-
to qualify. Two judges, on either
side of the arena, score the rider.
Each judge can award up to 50
points. 25 points arc based- on how
~*wcil-thc-ridcr rode- the bulliind the
other 25 points arc based on how
difficult the bull was to ride. The
cowboy doesn't get to pick the ani-
mal. Gay said, making it a random
draw.

Each judge's low score will typ-
ically be around 17 points and high
c usually no more than. 24,
according to Gay.

"There's a lot of danger involved
and that's part of the romance," Gay
said. "It's good watchin*.''
A love of bull riding

If there is one thing that Gay_
doesn't like, it's someone getting a
free ride. He noted that professional
baseball players, for instance, may
not perform all that well, yet go .
home wilh a million dollars at the
_ _cnd of. the day, getting that free ride,.
Bull riding, Gay said, is different.
Bull riders may do their best and
walk away wilh nothing.

"A cowboy is a guy that's
responsible for his own actions,"
Gay said. I like the fact that you're
paid for performance."

Gay has grown up with bull rid : _
ing. His father started the Mcsquite
Rodeo in 1958 and raised him to
love the sport-Announcing for bull j

relive the days of riding. It's an

dances and songs from throughout
the world Saturday and Sunday, on
a. surprisingly large stage tucked
away in a pork behind the small
community of St. Hilaire.

Organizers of the affair, said the
"success of this event year after year
. is due to the sponsors — the City of

and the Senior Center committee
— and the many volunteers,

In his assessment, Huot_said_
jUtcndance was good. Of course, he
added! it could always be better.

was u little better than an Sunday.
He agreed that it's a busy time of

fairs in Warren and Fertile.

Others said they had an average
attendance, which filled most of the
scats and kept vendors busy. And
other than high humidity, the

'Aveathcr was good,

Huot said it was u great show.

On . Saturday, the crowd

different and special plant commu-
nity. Come out to Rydell Refuge on
Sunday July 22nd for an informa-
tive and entertaining program and

new floating bq^-walkv

Sundew Bog is hot yoht ordinary
habitat found throughout this,part of

Northern Minnesota. It is a 17 acre
acfd bog located on Golden Pond'
Trail, ft is'cspecially unique due to
the occurrence of two types of
plants, Cottongrass and Round-
Leafed Sundew. There arc Five
species of cottongrass' in the bog,
four of which represent the western-
most edges of their range. Round-

It's good to know that there's a place closeby - that's standing by - to assist with the aches,
pains, strains and fractures that life sometimes brings. It's Dakota Clinic Thief River Falls.

This month marks the. return of
many foreign exchange students to
their home countries after having
spent the last year in the United
States living with an American host
family and attending an American
high school. . .

These students came to the
United States to. learn about
America and our. customs, tradi-
tions, and values while sharing in
return the customs, traditions, and
values of their native countries with
their host families, communities and
schools.

Christian, from Germany, was
able to attend a prom and his
school's homecoming events; Johan
from Sweden, actually got to meet
our former Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich. The students also
—had the opportunity to visit-
Washington, D.C. Now, thcy.get-to-
take home and shore all of the
knowledge and experiences they
have gained while living with an
American family.

American Intcrcultural Student
Exchange, Inc. is now seeking fam-
ilies to host high school age

exchange students from over 23
countries for the 2001/2002 school
year. Students arrive in August to
live with American host families

people, between the Dgcs.ofJ5 ant
18, speak English, have their own
spending money, medical insurance,
and the desire to participate as on
active member of an American fam-
ily.

Families have the opportunity to
learn about other countries without
[caving home. Prospective host
families arc interviewed by a pro-
ram representative and assisted with
the selection of their student. Host
families provide a room, and food
for their student and a loving, sup-
portive atmosphere where the stu-

So. what the heck is the Red Hat
Society all about?

It all started a few years ago. when a
California woman by the name of Sue
Ellen Cooper was visiting a friend in
Arizona and impulsively purchased a
bright red fedora at a thrift shop. The
hat. she thought, was great — quite
dashing and cheap to boot.

A year or two later. Cooper' read the
— pocmr"WamingT"-by-)cnn]rJoscphand-
immcdiatcly felt a kinship with the
poet.

When a friend's birthday came
along. Cooper decided to give her a red
hat and a copy of the poem. When that
friend derived so much pleasure from
ihe gift, Cooper gave the same gift 10
. another friend, then another, then anoth-
er.

When it occurred one day that ihcy
were becoming a sort of "Red Hat
Society." the women decided that they
should go out' to tea wearing their red
hats. Willi ihe poet threatening thai she
will ". ." .wear purple and a red hat
which doesn't go and doesn't suit me
. ," each of ihe women decided that she
would purchase a purple dress to com-
plete her attire.

The women's outing was a huge suc-
cess, and before long, each of the origi- "
nal society members brought another
woman or two into, the group, When the
fledgling group swelled to 18 members
(more than fit around a lea table!), other
interested women were encouraged to
form chapters of their own. - *

The self-proclaimed "Queen
Mother" and founder of the original
Red Hal Society, Sue Ellen Cooper,
penned a "statement of purpose" which
appears on the society web site at
(where else?) www.redhaisocictycom.

...To the Fair We Will Go
So, did I hear you say you don't plan lo go to the fair this year? What
kind of excuse could you possibly have for missing all of the fun'.' It seems
to me lhat a goudcuunly fair is just- what this place needs to liven things
up a bit. The fair has something Tor everyone, and this fair is going to be
especially good.

Tins fair is celebrating, its 1 00th birthday, and it's doing so with a
blast. The theme of this fair is "Century of Fun in 2001." There will be
enough fun and festivities for everyone, running from Tuesday through

thccntirc-wcck..untilSunday. ..

"Oh, but I don't like the rides at the fair! They make me sick!"
-There's more to the fair than rides. Let the youngsters with adven-
turous natures arid strong stomachs go on the rides and you can take the
time to enjoy some of the other things at the fair.
"I don'l have any money to spend on the fair."
-You don't need a lul of money. There arc many things at the fair that
don't cost a thing. You can wander through the fairgrounds all day long,
looking at the- exhibits and displays, winching the people, and talking with
all the neighbors you don't have time to visit during the week. You can
. wander through the midway and watch the suckers throw away their
money on the wild games and cheer your friends on in their quest lor "the .
gold." The excitement, music, noise and glitter is all free. .

"I don't want to look at pig s and cows and chickens, even if it is
free".''

-Go look at the other exhibits. Don't tell me you don't like lo look at
something that is on display. Go look at your neighbor's llowers, or Aunt
Milly's jelly. Uncle Bill's loaves of bread, or Cousin Tillie's cookies.
. Check out the fancy pictures lhat the wild teenager down.the block drew
and entered in the exhibits, and take a look at Granny's quilt there on the
wall. Check out ihe 4-H exhibits - there will be everything from science
and technology to woodworking to fashion and Imndywork.-

"1 just want lo sit home and watch the boob tube or listen to my

: tunes.". _

-There arc tunes and shows aplenty at this' year's fair. Check out the
—reccm A^or/ZaT/i-H^/i-A-and-riri-Kurc-you'll -find-some lypeor-ntusic-thal, —
will suit your fancy. There's everything from Gospel to rock to court-'
try/wesicm and some great band sounds. There are enrertatnments much
bctlcr than those on television. They include several magic shows, the
Williams and Rce comedy show, a local talent show, a hypnotist, fancy car
show, and much, much more. There will be that famous bullriding Friday
and Saturday, moiocross Tuesday and Wednesday and a parade on
_Salurda)Uoa_

-Playing one trumpet can beachallengerbuttwo at a time Is a. real
challenge. Laddie Pecka.who has mastered playing two trumpets
at the same time, will perform with the Cathy Erickson Band
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings at the band-
shell during the Pennington County Fair. Pecka also has other
important responsibilities. He is the Mayor of Lawton, N.D.

reading and much more.

Boy. it sure is tough for these
people in Montana. Their .legisla-
ture is always. digging up new ways
to spoil their fun.

For instance, if you decide to
spend an evening at the Deerlick
Saloon, the state mandates that you
have to leave the bar by sunrise.
Can you imagine?

Fortunately, if you haven't fin-
ished your most recent beverage,
you are free to bring it, and a cou-
ple more. if you wish, along with
you and guzzle them in your pick-

. up truck. You can't be drunk while
driving, but you ore free to work on

.it....

A couple of years ago, the
Montana legislature come up with
the crazy idea of limiting the speed
people can drive on Montana high-

. ways. Their feeble excuse was that

foreigners were descending upon

the state to race their Ferraris and

Porches dawn the interstate.

-.—Nothing- wrong with races on -!■*-

' 90. except these stupid out-of-
statcrs couldn't keep their Ferraris
and Porches on the road, and when
they flew end-ovcr-end off the
highway at 135 miles per hour,
they became a danger to, livestock
and sheepdogs. So, now Montana
has a speed limit.

To their credit, most Montanans
ignore it completely.

Montana is said to have beauti-
ful scenery. I wouldn't know. 3he
mountains and streams arc little
more than a blur as I try to keep up
with traffic on these curvy moun-v
tain roads. Most Montana residents
seem happy to risk the $5 fine that
comes from getting stopped for

doing 90 miles per hour. -

Ever tried to be calm and col-
lected with a logging truck 20
yards off your tail-and you are
already doing 80?

The pickup trucks with multiple
gun racks, well, (hey ore a little
slow. Seems their owners ore too
busy scanning the ditches for fox.
deer, minorities, and jackrabbits.

But watch out for young moth-
ers in minivans with "Jesus Saves"
bumper -stickers, They stop- for
nothing, especially if Pampers are
on sole at Kmart in'Missoula. Feel
a tap from behind, you had better
pull off to the the side'and'Iet'lhem
through. ■

Despite Iheir repressive and
tyrannical lows, the Montana legis-
lature does have one soft spot for
its drivers:

If, through no fault of your own,
you fly off a hairpin curve at 90
miles per hour, you ore immediate- '
ly declared a Montana "Hero of the
Highway" and given your very
own steel cross marker, right at the
spot where you went over the edge.
If you brought others with you,
they get crosses, too.

If you ore really lucky, your kin-
folk will run out to Wal-mort 'and
buy a purty plastic wreath of flow-
ers to hong on the cross, and there
it will stand as.a lasting meraorial-
-until somebody runs it over on
their way over the some cliff.

I drive too fast on the highway
to know for sure, but it seems that .
there is a cross, or a set of crosses,
every couple of miles. It's really
kind of touching. It can't be easy to
mow around ollof those things.

(ACRRA). which funds cleanups
of agricultural chemical spills.

Tnejesislnu'vc chongcs_cffcc:_

live as of July 1, 2001. include:

• A reduction of the reimburse-
' ment percentage from 100 percent

to 90.. percent for eligible costs -

-(applies to all cosis-incuirai from -
effective date);

•*A requirement that nil eligible
costs are submitted within three
years after cost incurrence or cor-
rective action report approval,
whichever is later (any costs
incurred-over three years prior to

MN conducts first
statewide elk
industry survey

The Minnesota Agricultural
Statistics Service (MASS) just
completed the first statewide elk
industry survey. The survey found
that there, was over 26 million dol-
lars in total elk inventory across the
state.

MASS conducted this survey at
the request of the Minnesota Elk
Breeders Association (MEBA). The
main focus of the survey was to
establish on industry structure and
breeder,- characteristics such as
inventory, marketing practices, and
meat and velvet production for
Minnesota. The Minnesota Elk
Industry Survey can be found on the
-Minnesota Agricultural Statistics
Service website at

http://www.nass.usda.gov/mn/ in
livestock reports.

Minnesota State. Statistician
Michael Hunst said this is the first
chance the state has had to quantify
the elk industry. The primary
objective of this survey was to meet
the need expressed by the elk indus-
try for current production data; ulti-
mately, these figures may help
improve current operations, market-
ing, and industry wide information.

Cornerstone Christian School In Thief River Falls
received a facelift recently when a group of
young workers, their youth director and chaper-
ones from Redeemer Lutheran Church In
Rockford, 111. spent a few days here conducting a
work project week. Tasks at Cornerstone includ-
ed shingling, siding an exterior wall, painting
and installing new windows. The youth group
has done similar projects at other Christian

schools and churches. "We want to show our
love for Jesus In a tangible way," said Youth
Director Bill Kucenski.. "Adults and youth can
work together to produce something very
good." Local residents are Invited to go out to
the school, which Is located on Sorteberg Drive,
to see the new improvements. {Submitted

"Ox* are extremely easy to train
provided you start when they arc at
a young age." said LaVcmc.

When Ole pulls his wagon he
- wears a harness and collar, which is
actually a horse collar turned upside
down. This special collar is
designed so that ii. doesn't bother
Ole's front joint.

In his more advanced training.
.La Verne would have Ole pull a can
along the roadway to get him used
' .to other traffic so he could eventual-
ly pull the can in town. Ole is now
so tame that the Hamrc's grandchil-
dren ore able to ride him with a sad-

Ole is a Shonhom Ox. which arc

every April and loves receiving his

regular baths with a garden hose.

"I've always been interested in
oxen. The hobby of raising Ole
began after my retirement.' said
LaVemc.

■ La Verne worked as a truck driver
at Hartz Foods for 25 years before
his retirement. His wife also worked
in the office at Hani Foods for 34
years before her retirement.
LaVcmc and Beverly have three

his wife Kathy of Thief River Falls,
and Tawnyu and her husband Tim
Panek of Thief River Falls.

u few. In parades, LaVcme says he
doesn't dnvc Ole; he has Ole follow

New program benefits athletes

by JeJTAchen
Reporter

High school athletes in Thief
River Falls are incorporating speed,
flexibility, and agility training into
their summer workouts thanks to
Dakota Clinic and Anita
Lizakowski.

When Lizakowski, an athletic
trainer for the" clinic, first came to
Thief River Falls four years ago, she
knew she wanted to be involved in
the local youth summer training
program. After "having approached
weight room supervisor nnd coach
Jeff Mumm al Lincoln High School,
she was able to start what she
describes as a strength, speed, flexi-
bility, and agility program as an
addition to the weight lifting pro-
gram.

"Strength isjust one aspect of it."
Lizakowski said. "It doesn't make
sense lo be strong if you can't move

quickly."

The progrlm is in its third sum-
mer ana usually runs for about 30 to
40- minutes prior to weight room
training. It involves a scries of
warm-ups and agility exercises, as
well as a plyomctrics program.

"Plyometrics is basically jump
training," Lizakowski said. "It s the
way the muscles contract and helps
kids learn how to jump, and land"
with a proper technique.

Through agility, flexibility, and
plyometric training, athletes in the
program are helping to decrease "
their chances of injury, develop
coordination, emphasize function,
and improve their athletic ability -
many of the goals of the program.
The program also aims lo make
individuals feci better about them-
selves and build self confidence.

Mumm said the feedback about
the program from parents and stu-
dent athletes has been good. The

program has even attracted a volun-
teer'trainer, former Lincoln High
School'mlilete Kylic Rogalln.

"I went through this program and
1 know what it's like not lo be able
to do it at first," Rogalla said.

Rogalla"said"shc"cnjoyrhelplng -
younger athletes progress and hopes
to help out for at least one more
summer next year.

Lizakowski is currently the ath-
letic trainer for Northland
Community and Technical College
and Lincoln High School. It's
through a contract with her employ-
er, Dakota Clinic, that, the high
school and college arc able to have
Lizakowski as their trainer. And, it
seems her involvement is more than
appreciated.

Dave Meyer entered Friday's

— competition at the Greenbush Race

Pork trailing Rod Peterson by just

two points in the Street Stocks

points standings. By the time the

- checkered flag dropped, Meyer left

the track with a one point lead in the

sta ndings.

Hfl _ am"Dwe*hIs~gWsriBrra)ie"ar-
least in part to unfortunate circum-
— s tan cc,-On-the opening lap of- the -
feature, Meyer, starting from the
second row, j;ot caught .up .with
another car. The incident caused a
fair amount of sheet metal damage
to Meyer's car and sent' the other
driver involved in the mishap to the
back of the line-up.

That put Meyer on the inside of
the front row next to Peterson for
the restart. Meyer would lead flag-
to-flag for the win - never more
than a car length or two ahead of
. Peterson in a battle between Thief
River Falls drivers. Jamen Foss
(Greenbush) finished third.

Jirri Hitman (Lancaster) has been
virtually unbeatable this season in
the Pure Stocks class. Friday he had
his hands full as Steffan Snare
(Hallock) jumped out to an early
lead that stood up forthe first seven
laps before Hilmnn went ahead on a
restart following a yellow 'flag.
Hilman and Snare would joust the
remaining eight laps before Hilman
took the checkered flag. Snare fin-
ished second, with Justin Peterson
(Lancaster) third.

, Gordic Lancaster (Bemidji) con-
tinues to' lead the Super Slocks
points race following a feature win
Friday. Lancaster led all but Lap 3 -
led by Dan Morberg (Mentor), who
for several laps ran sidc-by-side
with Lancaster. Morberg finished o
close second, with Bryon Berger
(Badger) third.

,. Dean Forst (Thief River Falls)
raced to the: Modifieds win, with *
Steve Arpin (Fort Frances, Ont.)
second and Shannon. . Gust
(Stralhcona) third. yVhilc^the. top _
three drivers raced single file
through the 15-lap feature, the real
action was back with the five other
cars racing for fourth. They jock-
eyed for position and changed spots —
several times through a very clean
and exciting Modifieds final.
Best car count of the evening was

Newfolden

in the Mini-Spnnt5 class, where ]~4
drivers took the green flag Tor the
feature. Clay Sorteberg (Greenbush)
and Robbi Peterson (Middle River)
would take turns leading early in the
race, but by Lap 9 both had dropped
out of the contest. Rick Bales
(Badger) look the lead an Lap 7 and
led thc-rest o f the way. Points leader
-DcnnlrRahtiuTcTrThicrRitcr'FallS) -
finished second, with Gerald
-HatIestad(Roscau)rhaving another
strong race, placing third.

Next night of action at the Race

Hunters harvested fewer ducks
ami' geese in Minnesota last full
compared to 1VJ9, according to
recent harvest reports from the U.S,

■ Ftsh and Wildlife Service.

The 2000 Minnesota Canada
gousc harvest of I59,4(X) was down
31 percent from the record high of
231,00(1 in I9 ( J9und was similar to
harvests from l'J% ihrough 1998.

— Minnesota's duck-^harvest

declined 25 percent from 657,800 in
\W) loW 1. 700 in 2000. It was the
lowest duck harvest in the stale

siticel993.

'Even with the drop in goose har-
vest, wc sitll had the highest Canada -
House harvest in the nation," said
Tim ilremlcker, Department of
Natural Resources Division of
Wildlife director. "But Ihe continued
decline in duck harvest - lhal was a

huge disappointment." ■■■

Biologists believe poor habilai
conditions account Tor much of ihe
low harvest. Most of southwestern
Minnesota was dry lasi fall and
duck hunting has been po,or in the
forested portion of 'Mitincsoia in
recent years due lo higher water lev-
els that damage wild rice used by
waterfowl. "These conditions influ-
ence both' the production of young
ducks in MinucsolITand the distribu-
tion of migrant ducks in. the fall."
Bremickcrsaid. /

In addiltiin. more of ihe fall duck
flight is being raised in the Dakolas
due to - ample-potholes and federal
Conservation Reserve Program
grassland hahilai.

Though factors such us weather
arc beyond the control of wildlife
managers, Brcmickcr noied that the

DNK will s.(Hiti release a plan, lo he
;in nmi i iced luicr this summer, lhal
identifies factors lhal it and partners

bers.
